Make sure to check the tail lights, I had a leak in the rear that took me months to discover, even sitting in the hatch with my friend spraying he car with a hose. Turns out the stupid ass body shop that repaired my rear Q panel broke the weather seal on the tail lights. If your spare tire well is getting water in it remove the plug and leave it off till you fix the leak, that way it just drains out instead of overfilling and spilling onto the carpet.

Also! park with the nose of the car higher than the rear, that will assist with draining the water greatly if it's raining at night.

Seriously, worst body shop ever, good thing I'm planning on stripping and redoing my interior..
